Upgraded to an second hand 810 from a 770 a few days ago. Great improvement in many ways.
I decided to do some programming on it, so installed the build stuff and got an editor.
Started typing and it wasn't long before I needed to insert a brace (curly bracket - { ) and couldn't work out how to do it. I was using the hardware keyboard, but the screen keyboard didn't seem to do it either. I did a web search and a help search which said that holding the CHR key gave me a list of other keys, but it didn't. I found pressing it and pressing other keys randomly gave me other characters, but not a brace.

How do I get one of these?

Your character keys are put in the keyboard by pressing the &|e button along the right hand side of the onscreen keyboard. Braces are along bottom row.

I realised when you said that that there was something wrong, as I remembered that key from the 770. Then I realised that there was some other keyboard there, so I deleted 'scim' and I have a normal keyboard now.

Thanks
